Last week, a federal appeals court ruled in favor of the Trump administration on a “sanctuary city” policy, allowing the Department of Justice to withhold millions of dollars in federal funding from cities and states that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities’ attempts to address illegal immigration. On Thursday, President Trump issued a warning to those municipalities and states shielding illegal immigrants from federal law.

As The Daily Wire reported last week, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration can withhold millions of dollars in grants to those cities and states that set up laws designed to thwart federal efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.  The ruling overturned a lower court decision forbidding the federal government from withholding the funds.
